even a 15X8 +20?

hehe

Keith Tinari · 08-03-2009, 10:33 PM

is that what you are running? Im just curious how its going to act since a 205/50 is a little on the beefy side. Thats how I like my tires though.

205 50 is undersized. 205 55 is closer to stock height. i'm a 225 50 butttt... my car also has hips to accommodate

looking great!

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 09:18 AM

Ive noticed. 225s are hard to find in a decent sidewall though. I used to be a huge goodyear fan but now I like toyos but the Proxes biggest and lowest was a 205/50 15.

Oh I Emailed Good-win last night and referenced you to see if they had the 15x7 +25s in stock still. I hope thats okay, I probably should have asked first.

Hankook RS2 225 50 15 and 225 45 15
Hankook RS3 225 45 15

i just placed the order, i didnt ask

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 09:23 AM

A friend of mine went to order a set of TDMs from there and said they were out of stock. haha I'm just so excited because I loved those wheels. I dont want to get my hopes up. I didnt know they were so accessable in the states. The set I bought I got from Icy/Phoenix Racing's Koni Challenge car. According to them they were hard to get in a 17x8 +45. The offset was a custom job through TDM.

which wheel did he ask for? there's no way they're out of stock on every PRo Race model lol

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 11:00 AM

Not a big fan of Hankooks. Sidewalls are too soft for me. And their tread wear is just too fast for a tire that I will DD. For example, I prefer these. (my previous tires)

B.Stone Potenza REO70
Goodyear F1 GSD3
Goodyear Eagle Response Edge (my fav tire of all time)
Dunlop Direzza Z1
Toyo Proxes RA-1
Falken Azenis RT-615 (loudest tire ever, worst removal ever lol)

I have the Proxes4 on right now and I think it actually suits this little car well. I wish I would have done the RA-1.

Keep in mind though those tires were all on my Subaru, the only tires I have tried on this car besides the stock LS was the Falkens. They came on my Advans when I got them. I just like a tire with a chunky hard sidewall thats all.

Tamago · 08-04-2009, 11:12 AM

i've heard similar complaints on the hankooks from subaru owners.

but on a lightweight car, i found my RS2's to be an awesome all-around tire.

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 11:18 AM

I wont argue, subarus are pigs lol. It may be something to look into later on after the toyos die. Hankooks are fairly inexpensive.

kngrsll · 08-04-2009, 06:50 PM

the direzzas have been an AWESOME tire, but from what i hear, the new toyo R1R is the best out there right now.

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 09:43 PM

Ive heard the same thing also. Im just afaid its going to be a noisey one. I work for STS auto so I get a pretty decent discount on tires. I got mine for 250 for all 4.

blacksandiegovitz · 08-04-2009, 09:47 PM

I'm lost , where did you buy these rims from/ how much ???

kngrsll · 08-04-2009, 09:59 PM

they are not noisy at all.... well maybe a little noisy at 90 mph in turn 3 ROFL

Keith Tinari · 08-04-2009, 10:00 PM

They updated the website, now they are 129.00 instead of 99.00 that sucks alot!

kngrsll · 08-04-2009, 10:05 PM

when i got mine, the rest of them were 129, but there was one link that was $99. keep looking!
